[Rhodes22-list] raising mast on Rhodes 22

[ed kroposki]

Nic (vic?)(you never sign)

	With the Rhodes 22 there is a mast hoist system that is much more
than a gin pole.  It is a balanced system mounted to the cabin top.  It is
based on the principle of a gin pole, but it is secured to the cabin top
(base) and has a line to the front deck cleat.  It uses the two back inside
stays to actually hoist the mast with the poles descending movement.  The
other six stays act as guides and stabilizing support while raising and
lowering.  The current version of the system is quite safe and efficient.
One person can raise and lower the mast without dropping the mast on his
head.  This can be done on the water or on the trailer!
	However, according to Stan caution should still be used.

Are you saying you actually bought a mast hoise?? I'm thinking about the
small crane like devices marinas use to hoist a mast.  Ever think about
using a Gin pole instead.  That way you're not limited to one location
unless somehow your hoist is moveable.
